How to play Carol Of The Bells: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Carol Of The Bells by Misc Christmas on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
Carol Of The Bells by Misc Christmas is written in E minor (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 4 chords: Em, D, C and Bm.
Listen for Em – D – C – Bm (i – VII – VI – v in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Good to know: on guitar, Bm needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
